I know:
This post is late. It’s been a little over a year since I officially became a freelance writer in 2014. I’ve done a lot, made my fair share of mistakes and I know for a fact I absolutely still love freelance writing!
My passion and desire for blogging and creating content has not waned. If anything, I’m more excited at what the next year will take me now that I have my course Write Your Way to Your First 1k close to launching!
You’re a new freelance writer.
You’ve read tons of articles, posts, seen videos and webinars and you have it all figured out. But, one things missing – you haven’t landed your first client.
I get it:
Do you spend countless hours trying to come up with the perfect topic for your blog?
Do you also itch to find out if anyone left a comment or shared your latest post?
If you’re anything like me, writing for your blog is not a chore, but an exciting opportunity. Every month you come up with awesome blog posts and hope they reach your target audience.
How rockin’ would it be to earn an extra $1K in less than 3 weeks – from a brand new client?
Almost sounds a bit crazy eh?
I don’t know about you, but I typically average around $500 per month from each of my recurring blogging clients. So, how did I double this with a client I recently landed?
Do you want to be a freelance writer, but something’s holding you back?
You’re probably thinking there’s something you really need before you actually start freelance writing, right?
I mean this is a business and a new career path so thinking there are certain requirements is just a given.
Are you a new freelance writer struggling to find a writing gig that actually pays?
You ask, how do I start freelancing and get freelance clients?
Or, are you stuck working for pennies and want out?
You’ve been pitching like mad. All you want is your first freelance writing job, that first client.
You’ve also spruced up your web copy and updated your freelance writing portfolio.
You check your email one last time and suddenly you see a response to a freelance writer pitch you sent. You can’t believe it. You read the email and see the prospective client is interested in your blog writing skills and wants you to start next week.
Have you landed your first freelance writing client and need to manage your projects?
Or, maybe you have several freelance fclients you’re trying to juggle, only to “lose your senses” when a client asks you to update a project you did three months ago?
Having a freelancing project management system isn’t a sexy topic. There’s no way you can make money from it and it actually can be a big time waste if you’re disorganized and don’t have a proper system in place for your projects.
These past couple weeks have been a whirlwind for my freelance writing business.
Not only am I working on a new comprehensive guide for freelance writing, but I launched a new free eCourse and a brand new site!
Oh, and don’t forget, I moved my blog! And if you’re a subscriber or regular reader of my blog, you might be thinking:
Raise your hand if you’re a work-at-home mom.
Having a hard learning how to write more for you writing jobs?
I’m writing this post as my twins are “napping” and it’s 2 pm. Aside from regularly updating my blog, I’m also a freelance writer.
